TnE construction Of dam at Cincinnati
similar to the one at Davis island by the
national government would certainly be of
great interest 10 that city, and the matter
will probably be brought before Congress at
the coming session. Cincinnati, like Pitts
burg, is interested in having good stage OF
water in her harbor all the year, and this can
be obtained only in the manner indicated.
This is n matter which would be Of incalcu-
liable advantage Ia the coal trade. At Cincin-
natl barge OF coal cannot be moved at pres
cnt for want Of water.

Manchester-by- the-Sea, on the Massachusetts,
coast, Is. in the summer, the paradise OF actors.
A great number of those best known TO their pro-
fession and the public make their headquarters
there during the hot season. and enjoy genuine
rustic rest with just enough OF the business at
mosphere about 1t 10 prevent its degeneration into
rust Mrs. Agnes Booth has devised a plan for
swelling dramatic relief fund by having per-
Torrance or Shakspeare's sylvan comedy, "As
You Like 1t, In the open air at this place with
the grove adjoining the leading hotel transformed
Tor the time into the forest OF Arden. Already the
little village Ia throngec with visitors from Without
and special trains Will be Boston to accom-
modate the spectators from that city. 1t would
not be surprising II this idea became so popular
that in course OF time other actors resorts, like
Long Branch fer instance, should adopt it, and
part OF the professions summer leisure should be
turned TO good account for charity. Such a plan
would have obvious advantages over that COM
monty followed, OF calling the sweltering public
together In a hot city and inside Of a doubly hot
Ineater.
